I'm not one to discount a threat but looking at the Iranian military, I just don't see them as a threat to Israel, the Saudi's or even some of the Gulf States.
Their conventional military is weak.
Quite honestly the Saudi's are several magnitudes more advanced than the Iranians.

Some of the new equipment shown during the Iran Army Day Parade.
The Sabalan is a rebuilt M47 Patton Main Battle Tank, which Iran has almost 170 in service.
Upgrades includes:
1. One 105 mm M68 rifled gun. 2. Add-on composite Armor. 3. A not-so-keen-to-burn diesel engine. 4. Modern fire control system. 5. Modern communications equipment.
Iran is likely planning to upgrade their M-47 inventory to Sabalan standards rather then retire them from active service. info via War Machine.
